Roberto Cavalli

Once again, another great shopping day at Cavalli in Beverly Hills. Please ask for Emily when u visit. She is amazing and always finds me good stuff to buy! I’m so grateful!

Thanks for fixing the snap on my dress! Got me to the benefit on time. Gotta love the guys at Cavalli.

Gorgeous pieces, but terrible layout. Store is sectioned off oddly and feels cramped, space constraints result in limited merchandising. Much prefer the Cavalli showroom at Crystals in Vegas, which is spacious and airy in comparison.

Love this store! Shop here all the time and the sales people are all soooooo sweet! They have amazing dresses for women and sometimes some cool things for my boyfriend, but mainly I focus on myself…
Sometimes I’m not crazy about EVERY print in here, but they have such great pieces sometimes that you think look mediocre on the hanger and then turn out AMAZING on.
Manager is really sweet too… Everyone shopping for that one great dress, needs to come here.

i just don’t like the roberto cavalli clothing cuz it’s too ‘printy’ & ‘jungle-​like’ w/​all these designs going on at the same time… butttttt, i do like this store. it’s clean&quaint&even tho all the displays are ‘trying too hard’, you gotta give the gays for their ultra-​artsy effort.

My favorite place to shop. EVERYTHING looks great on me. Love all the floral patterns

3:30pm, in the heart of the BevHills hood, and you’ve been shopping since doors opened at 10’ish. Are you broke yet?
No?
Get ready.
Roberto Cavalli’s signature store on Rodeo Drive is both the same and diametrically opposed to other shops along sidewalks paved in plastic — both the cosmetic and credit kind.
As with nearly every store or restaurant lining the West Coast’s flagship street of appalling, American consumer decadence (mirrored on the East Coast by 5^th Avenue, Rodeo Drive’s Manhattanite sister-​in-​concrete), Roberto Cavalli is expensive.
As in, REALLY expensive. Seriously. Don’t even come in unless you just got paid and your bank account balance has at least three zeroes preceded by a number higher than four — and only then after you’ve paid your rent or mortgage, and have enough peanut butter and crackers in your pantry to last out the pecuniary storm you’ve unleashed. If you’ve come in as a tourist and just want to browse, the staff will give you a hearty serving of the dagger-​eye to «…put that camera away, you boor!»
If you’re still reading, you’re either rich, determined, crazy, or bored. Or maybe all of these things, with a side order of masochist.
Read on!
Roberto Cavalli’s fashions and accessories mirror the selection at Dolce & Gabbana — for men, it’s flashy, form-​fitting, and edgy, with not a little sprinkling of «look at me, I’m a sleaze, but one you want to know, baby. Get in the Audi…» Think GUESS? by Marciano, except at tenfold the price.
For women, the casual clothes lean more toward the young and the trying-​to-​be-​young Botox crowd — lots of prints, skinnies, blouses, and fashions that would appeal to the Forever-​21 vixen, if that demographic were the sort that wanted to spend $ 21 (thousand) dollars on a few pairs of jeans, a ribbed cashmere sweater, and some peep-​toe anklet booties with five inch heels that «I’ve just GOT to have or I’ll DIE…»
Formal wear abounds too, for both genders — and it’s here that Roberto Cavalli distinguishes itself from its gauche neighbors. Unlike the often gaudy offerings that define its casual sets, Roberto Cavalli exudes a timeless elegance combined with fashion-​forward flourishes when it comes to suits and gowns.
So, if you’re ever at a loss as to what to wear when you meet the royal family of Monaco (or are attending some doctor’s wedding to his secretary), Roberto Cavalli’s got you covered — provided you can write checks that don’t bounce.
Service? It depends on what you expect — this store (like all the stores in this neighborhood) is blitzed with tourists and others filled with harmless curiosity who, while certainly deserving courtesy, clearly do not intend to buy anything. Nevertheless, the staff at Roberto Cavalli strive to assist them (as they should and must), so it comes as no surprise if you walk in with a burlap sack with a dollar $ign on it (with faint police siren sounds from several blocks away), and the employees can’t get to you right away.
They try their best in the tempest, and that’s good enough for me.
What else is good enough for me?
A pair of briefs that cost $ 180. Too bad no one can see them, hidden as they are behind my consignment store Citizens (that only set me back $ 30).
Service: Bold Concept, Sometimes Meh’xicution.
Casual Threads: Douchey, but Ed Hardy and Von Dutch are in no danger of being upstaged (though they’ve certainly been out-​priced).
Formal Wear: William Holden and Audrey Hepburn and the rest of the cast of Sabrina would feel at home here.
Accessories: $ 600 tin bracelet; $ 295 leather credit card holder. The end.
Underwear: Sexy, but less sexy if you wear it on your head so that everyone can see what a $ 95 thong looks like.
Shoes: Will make you go «Ooooh» but cannot out-​do Jimmy Choo, Scooby Doo…
Slightly Cheaper Style Equivalent: John Varvatos/D&G/Just Cavalli
MUCH Cheaper Equivalent: Miss Sixty/​Club Monaco
Parking: is a lady in the streets.
Kai: a freak in the bed.
Wait…

Roberto Cavalli– as a designer– used to border the cheesy. Especially for men– it was a bit of a ‘gold chain, hairy chest, un-​bottoned shirt.’ look. But not so much anymore. These days, you say Cavalli and think red carpet, sexy.
So for a special occasion, my in ‘the biz, Wardrobe Stylist’ friends brought me right to Cavalli.
We walked in and immediately the service was fantastic. In fact, my experience @ many high end boutiques is that the service is old school SERVICE. We were offered water, we were checked on, sales people were the right amount of attentive. In this case, we had Jay F and he was lovely. He asked about the event and he had suggestions in addition to what we selected.
There was not a price tag under $ 2000 –for the long dresses– that I saw but every piece I tried on was worth every penny. The designs were sexy, the construction was perfect and the service was 1^st rate.

Excellent staff. Clean, organized store. All the sale merchandise is upstairs.(Can be a little messy due to wild shoppers). The sales associate, Jay, was super nice. Even though he was new, he was such a sweet guy!

Great place to visit if you are in LA… they have some beautiful pieces and I think this is the next designer to earning it’s star on the blvd… the people there are really friendly and the place is very clean.
Too bad they don’t have a store here…= (
